a German, living in Bedford, was given a pre
scription calling for two ounces of laudanum,
with directions to take 30 drops every two
hours until his nerves were quieted, they being
unduly excited during the recovery from a
drunken spree. The laudanum was procured,
but instead of taking it as directed, the patient
gulped it down at one draught, and the result
was he was thrown into a stupor. Medical
aid was summoned, but proved ineffectual,
and on Saturday Mr. Miller died, aged about
65 years.

him for the leadettsh:p of
henet his ilepos;:ion. The intention, .Shit

act according to Ilk own neseretion. Ha was
commanded of Clod to ti a particular
but like many others, he lacked the courage
to' do right. Ile wazi wiaul and obstinate,
cowardly and lacking iu moral depth of char
acter. Those only who hold to God's word
are to be true leaders of His people. Obedi
ence in the letter, as well as in the spirit, is
required, and those who adhere strictly to the
teachings of God are those who are worthy
to be His leaders. There is in the world but
one thing that is unchauging, and that is
God's truth. In tile history of God's church,
wherever men and people have honored God,
He has made that tear and that people the
leader. Marna Luther, in the sixteenth cen
tury, let loose an idea that has not been im
prisoned since, and will not so long as the
world stands, because it was God's truth. It
was Wesley and Whitfield, and not the great
leaders of :state, that saved England from the
tide of revo!utioa which swept over France,
and if there be a people in the world that are
to be God's riling people, they are to lead
men because they follow God. It was appro
priate that the 'first thing done of a public
character this morning here was the presen
tation of the word of God to the pastor. Fol
low it, obey it, love it, and be guided by It, if
you would be the people whom God will ap
point to be his leaders. _
The speaker complimented the membership
of the church on the beautiful house they
had erected, expressing his surprise on see
iug it first, and expressed the hope that they,
together with the community and the denom
ination throughout the State, might be grati
fied and encouraged by the fact, that before
the close of the day the house should he pre
sented as the Lord's house, f,•ee from debt,
and dedicated to that one pr.nciple of invin
cible adherence to the truth of the Bible.

tween praying and giving, in religion, as ex
emplified is the history of God's people, in
every age of the world. The Lord has re
jected the people who refuse to give, and
honored those that gave. This was true of the
children of Israel and of the church since the
time of Christ.
He then read the conditions of the proposed
subscriptions to liquidate the dent resting
on the church, amounting to the sum of
$5,250, proposing to allow three years time
for payment upon all subscriptions of over
$500; two years upon all under $2OO and
over $3O, and one year on all under $5O, no
subscriptions to be valid until the whole
amount is subscribed, and the church pledg
ing itself never again to go into debt.
Subscriptions were then taken from $5OO
down, and at the close of the meeting the sub
scriptious amounted to the enceura4ing figure
of over $2,800.
At 3 P. a. Pev. Charles 11. Scott preached
from Matt. 6:33. "But seek ye first the king
dom of God and his righteousnes-, and all
these things shall be added unto thee."
The sermon was plain, practical, and in
every respect entirely appropriate for the oc
casion. The principal points presented were
that the scriptural idea ot business is contrary
to that of the world, which was illustrated by
the example of the alabaster box of ointment,
and the gifts of the wi-e men of the East ; that
the bible order of giving is opposed to that of
the world ; the world, instead of obeying the
injunction of the text, sass, "look out for No.
1." We are to seek the righteousness of God
and the welfare of His kingdom by erecting
places where His word may be preached, and
the apostolic idea of cbristianity was that tile
christian gave himself to the Lord, body, soul,
and property, and a penny given is worth a
thousand promises. The Lord does not invest
to promises.
The bible sense of prosperity is also directly
contrary to that of the world, which is that a
man must depend on himself. Judas was an
example of this false idea. Men sometimes
give that they may make a gain of Christ, and
others do not belong to the "church for fear it
will interfere with theirbusiness arrangements.
They are prospering, making money, and will
have a large tombstone, but no pocket to their
shroud. The Lord will not let us lose our
reward if faithful to Him, and give because we
love His cause, and desire to see Him victorious
in the conflict for the salvation of the world.
May He help us to have this spirit of conse
cration, and remember that iu seeking the
kingdom of God and ills righteousness we are
complying with the eternal laws of wealth,
and that the truth stands eternal, that wealth
that follows in the wake of righteousness is
stable and has no rust iu it to eat it up and
condemn us at the judgment.
At the conclusion of this discourse another.
effort was made to raise subscriptions, which
resulted in the raising of about $l,OOO short
of the required amount.
Rev. Dr. Long again preached in the eve
ning, from Matt. 10:32 : "‘Vhosoever therefore
shall confess me before men, him will I also
coufess before my Father that is in Heaven."
The discourse was logical, eloquent and af
fecting, the speaker - dwelling upon the im
portance of a public confession of Christ by
the believer, in the observance of the ordi
nances of His house, is public worship, and
in the erection of houses for His praise, and
also on the mutual confession between Christ
and His followers, in time and at the judg
ment, concluding with an eloquent appeal in
behalf of the object then under consideration,
after which the effort to secure subscriptions
was again renewed, and alter a somewhaero
tracted effort, enough was subscribed to cover
the required amount, without making any al
lowance for shrinkage or the accumulating
interest on the debt before the maturity of the
subscriptions, amounting probably to some
$3OO or $4OO more, which, it is confidently
expected, can be obtained from parties who
were not present on account of the inclemency
of the weather, and from whom sonic material
aid is looked for.
A proportion of the debt Wan assumed by
the Ladies' Aid Society, through whose ef
forts the Lecture room hag been finished and
furnished, and at the conclusion the pastor,
Mr. Craft, made a few remarks, congratulating,
the membership on the result of the effort, and
highly complanentary to the women of the
church, to whose efforts he said the result
over which we rejoice is very largely at
tributable, who, at the time when help was
greatly needed, had consented that the ac
cumulated earnings of some years might be
diverted from the purpose for which it was
intended, and applied to the finishing of the
room.
Dr. Long also offerei some remarks on the
same subjeet,which were highly complimentary
to the ladies, and full of hope for the future.
The room, as now finished, presents a very
tasty and attractive appearitoce, and is a
neat and comfortable powe of worship, with
a sealing capacity of about 300. The entire
amount, with the exception of about $lOO bay
been raised inside of the conereil , tion, so
that in their weakness and poveity the mien
bership ti,te received but little aid or en
couragemeet front iint ,, id,rs or horn other
churches, and tile success of the enterprise is,
ill a great measure, atkritoitable to the fa:tii
ful and untiriug per...ever:tette of their youth
ful and devoted pastor, ftev Geo. G. Craft,
who, on commencing his Inborn with the
church, ;ess than a year 10, found the build
ing standing entirely opeo, a home for the
swallow and the sparrow anti other wandering
birds, with a debt of about so,ooo resting
upon it, au.l immedintely set Lolls:cif, in the
tare of all adverse citeutustatices to Inc task
of completing and occupying the lecture room
of the buildiup and removing the debt renting
upon it, with the measure of success already
announced, a result seemiugly beyond the
wildest anticipations of the most sanguine, at
the time of its commencement. This is so
evidence of what may be done throtteh the
grace of God, by the effort of a man having a
noble object iu view aod determined to ac
complish it, and presents a record of faithful

.1 FORMER ii UN lINUDONIAN PASSES
IN His Cusctis.—Frurn the Johnstown Tribune
of the 3d inst., we clip the following, which
lia:; a local hearing :

;If. McClure, will be remembered by our older
readers as a practising physician in JohnSLOWII
some tweiny-odd years ago. Some time after
tiie death of the Docter ; which occurred here,
widow was married to :er. Mitchell, and
so.o afterward the family removed to Hun
tingdon, where they resided until nearly two
years ago, when they came back to town. The
wno died by his own hand, had fur
many years teen a great sufferer from tlysp,2p
sia, and was noted for his quiet, retiring
iiesition. le was single, and resided with
Mrs. C. B. Le r, an aunt, in Carrollton. Of
late h‘; had been feeling very badly on account
of the serious illness of another aunt, who
lives in Chester, Illinois. (in Saturday he
said that if this aunt died he nad no desire to
live, and drew some money from the bank
with the design of leaving for Chester.
Oa :Sunday morning be rose, dressed in his
best clothes, made the fires, and awoke Mrs.
Leg. He handed her his keys, saying, "I
guess I'll be off this morning." Mrs. Legg,
supposing he referred to his intended trip to
Cuester, berried up to get his breakfast.
When he did not appear she went to his room
and found him lying on his side on the bed
with a bullet-wound in his right temple. The
shot was fired from a single barreled twenty
two calibre pistol, and death had evidently
resulted within a brief interval. Recently the
deceased had been oevotiev, himself assidu

A NARROW ESCAPE.—The carelessness
which some people in this city manifest in
leaving their doors insecurely barred at night,
is a topic with which the newspapers are
always rife. One instance in particular was
called to our notice. A lady living on Eutaw
Square was sitting up with her daughter, who
was afflicted with pulmonary consumption,
apd whose terrible cough could be heard by
the neighbors. This evening in particular
she was nioie than usually depressed and
harms:led by severe and prolonged fits of
coughing. tier mother left her bedside to go
to the bureau to get some medicine to relieve
her, and as she passed the window she saw
an immense shadow of a man upon the wall.
One shriek and she fell in a faint, as a tall
stalwart fellow leaped in at the window.
The sick girl, too weak to cry out, lay in a
trance of fear, while the man leaned over am:
picked up her mother, and said in a kindly
tone, "Be not alarmed, Miss, 1 am no robber ;
but I have beard you coughing so much that
I determined to relieve you, and so brought
you this bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup."
The young lady thanked her philanthropic
friend, took the medicine and is now rapidly
improving.—Balto, Every Saturday.
CAR aIER PIGEONS.—Mr. Kennedy, the
proprietor of the poultry yards a short dis
tance above the classic town of Smithfield,
showed us a pair of carrier pigeons, on Sstur
day, which he had received by express, that
morning. They are Lull-blooded birds, known
as the Autworths, and were bred by Mr. Win.
Thompson, of Upland, Pa.,.a gentleman noted
in sporting circles for his fine breeds of birds.
On Friday last, the male bird, now in posses
sion of kr. Kennedy, flew a match against
time, from Philadelphia to Upland, a distance
of fifteen miles, in the unprecedented time of
fourteen minutes. It is the intention of Mr.
Kennedy to breed these birds, so that iu a
little while Huntingdon sportsmen will be
abie to take a hand in the pigeon matches
which are becoming so popular in this country.
These birds are very handsome, compactly
built, and their appearance indicates that
they have great powers of endurance and arc
good flyers.

For two years I suffered with Rheumatism in
my left shoulder and right arm, and last fall I
was incapable of attending to my duties, and
lay many a night unable to sleep on account
of terrible pains. A few weeks ago a severe
attack of this trouble struck me, and this time
I concluded to try the ST. JACOB 9 OIL, I must
acknowledge, with but little confidence in its
merits. I freely confess that the result has
completely astonished me. The first applica

the continued use of only two bottles has
